Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, fast-growing business, reasonably priced.
Kalpataru Power Transmission is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 3.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.49× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 6.6% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 18%/yr and profit at 33%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 18%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 14.0%. In the latest quarter profit fell 28% versus the prior quarter.
At 23× earnings, the stock sits at the 27th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~9%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 18% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (33% vs 18%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +82% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margins have been stable around 5% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 13% — a respectable return on shareholder capital.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. Profit grew faster than EPS (33% vs 28%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 28% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
Operating cash flow has been positive every year — the business generates real cash, not just accounting profit. Cash conversion at 1.5× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 17% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown.
Profit fell 28% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters at 33.6% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
